Traditions

Traditions 
and  Old  China 


TT^ROM  early  days  when  the  ancients  showed  their  appre- 
^  ciation  of  fine  pottery  and  old  glassware  by  burying 
"  these  most  esteemed  possessions"  with  the  dead,  fine  china 
has  been  synonymous  with  culture  and  breeding.  With  our 
ancestors  for  generations  we  share  the  tradition  that,  just 
as  first  editions  give  prestige  to  one's  book  shelves,  old  china 
or  the  finest  work  of  the  modern  kilns  express  readily  that 
good  taste  and  discrimination  that  is  characteristic  of  our 
old  families. 

A  wealth  of  association  and  historic  data  is  to  be  ac- 
quired from  the  study  of  the  "fabrique  marks"  and  periods 
of  the  master  craftsmen.  If  in  America  there  was  a  gen- 
eral tendency  toward  acquiring,  even  a  smattering,  of  this 
knowledge,  there  would  be  less  of  these  drawing-room 
atrocities  which  Arthur  Hayden  in  his  "Chats  on  Eng- 
lish Earthenware"  points  out,  "To  have  a  modern  set 
of  vases  adorning  a  Georgian  cabinet  is  like  putting  new 
wine  in  old  bottles." 

For  the  convenience  of  the  seasoned  collector,  as  well

as  the  beginner,  in  this  book  is  a  representative  list  of  better 
known  marks  by  which  china  can  be  identified.  While  it 
is  not  possible  to  include  a  complete  list,  particularly  those 
of  extremely  rare  specimens,  those  compiled  have  par- 
ticular reference  to  the  marks  of  English  china  which  is 
greatly  in  demand  by  collectors.  These  will  suffice  to 
enable  the  reader  to  identify  pieces  whenever  encountered. 

The  signatures  or  mark  which  the  master  craftsmen 
in  earth  or  clay  signed  their  products,  just  as  a  painter 
signs  his  work,  were  often  specially  designed  devices  of 
various  kinds,  often  a  combination  of  initials  and  dates. 
Each  "fabrique  mark"  stands  for  a  certain  potter's  art 
just  as  the  modern  trade-mark. 

Beginning  more  than  a  half  century  ago  in  tlie  old  La 
Farge  House  in  lower  Broadway  (where  John  La  Farge 
was  born)  the  house  of  Gilman  Collamore  and  Company 
has  done  much  to  develop  an  appreciation  of  fine  china 
in  America.  It  was  one  of  the  first  houses  to  bring  over 
from  England  and  France  china,  both  modern  and  old, 
for  its  American  clients.  At  this  time  many  fine  speci- 
mens of  old  china  are  on  view  as  well  as  complete  stocks 
from  the  modern  English  and   Continental   manufacture.
